Electric Midnight - Issue 1

At midnight, the systems are still running.

Some are watching. Some are hungry. Some have learned to pray.

Electric Midnight gathers speculative fiction from the fault line where machinery becomes myth-and myth remembers it has teeth.

Within these pages, rituals hide inside procedures, bodies become instruments, ancient bargains acquire modern terms, and familiar worlds tilt just far enough to stare back. These are stories of predatory institutions, impossible transformations, watchful gods, haunted technologies, and people struggling to remain human when humanity is no longer the safest shape to wear.

Strange, visceral, darkly funny, and unexpectedly tender, this first issue of Electric Midnight offers fiction with a pulse beneath the static: warnings, relics, and transmissions from realities uncomfortably close to our own.

Read carefully. The signal is already inside.

This issue features stories by J.A. Skelton, Asher Stevens, Elizabeth Fasone, Allister Nelson, K.T. Alan, Martin Strazovec, A.J. Van Belle, Nicholas Starr Kellogg, Justin Alcala, Owen Townend, Owen Wyn Jones, and Matthew M. Ployhart.
